Shopping anyone?

I just want to let everyone know that you can now shop for my cards here. I created a store at ShopHandmade which is a lot like Etsy but there are no fees! It's kind of new and the cool thing is that every time an item is sold, SH funds the protection of 25 square feet of rain forest. Well, I think it's cool anyhow! If you notice the mini store on the left side of this blog, you can click on it and see everything listed in my shop. And for something you can't get in the shop yet (but it will be added very soon) check out my simple chandelier card. It's so simple and classic and that's what I love about it. (It would make a great invitation...if anyone's interested.)

Speaking of not-so-simple, I recently taught myself to hand-stitch! I mean, OK, it's pretty simple, but when you hand-stitch 5 cards in a row, it's pretty time-consuming. I love it, though, and you can see some examples of my stitching in my SH shop.

Oh, and I won the Pink Persimmon challenge from the last post! I felt so lucky I started entering all kinds of contests but, alas, my luck ran out.

Real quickly, I'd like to say "Hi" and "I love you" to both of my grandmothers. They are both 90 years old and I know neither one of them will ever see this because they want nothing to do with computers (!!) but I've been thinking about both of them lately and since they live on the East Coast and I'm out here on the West Coast, I don't get to see them often.

That's Grandma (Milly) Burdick on the left and Grandma Peg on the right. This picture was taken last August when we celebrated GB's 90th.
